Hot Fuzz: Big Cops. Small Town. Moderate Violence.

Police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred to a rural village. On arrival, Angel teams up with the oaf-like PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) and together they investigate a series of mysterious murders, all of which are classed as 'accidents' by the increasingly strange townsfolk.

"Hot Fuzz" was released on DVD (July 31, 2007).

"Hot Fuzz" Editorial Review 

by Simon Brew (Amazon.co.uk)


Hot Fuzz
(Widescreen Edition)

A major British hit, a lorryload of laughs and some sparkling action? We'll have some of that! Its fair to say that Hot Fuzz proves that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wrights brilliant Shaun Of The Dead was no one-off, serving up a superbly crafted British homage to the Hollywood action movie.

Deliberately set in the midst of a sleepy, quaint English village of Sandford, Peggs Nicholas Angel is sent there because, bluntly, hes too good at his job, and hes making his city colleagues look bad. The proverbial fish out of water, Angel soon discovers that not everything in Sandford is quite as it seems, and joins forces with Nick Frosts lumbering Danny Butterman to find out whats what.

Hot Fuzz then proceeds to have a rollicking good time in both tipping its hat to the genre films that are clearly its loving inspiration, and coming up with a few tricks of its own. It does comedy better than action, with plenty of genuine laugh-out-loud moments, but its no slouch either when the tempo needs raising. One of the many strong cards it plays is its terrific cast, which includes former 007 Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, Bill Bailey, Paddy Considine, Edward Woodward and Jim Broadbent.

Hot Fuzz, ultimately, just falls short of Shaun Of The Dead, but more than does enough to warrant many, many repeat viewings. Its terrific fun, and in the true hit action movie style, all-but-demands some form of sequel. That said, with Pegg and Wright now with two excellent, and suitably different, genres ticked off, itll be interesting to see what they do next. A period drama, perhaps...?

Great film.
Stopped at Wells (where the movie was filmed), on the way back from a camping weekend, to get some photos and pick out scenes from the movie.

it is a cultural made comedy, and at this point, British surely much better than USA

I really enjoyed this movie, and recognized several of the actors from other shows I watch regularly. My friends were a bit confused, but that's okay!
